List of alarms

Last modified:

The following tables describe the alarms (error codes) generated by blue’Log. When an alarm is triggered, the information is sent via email or sent to VCOM. See Alarm/state configuration.

Note

For a full list of alarms that can be read via the SCADA interface, see the SCADA interface data sheet and register: Downloads - meteocontrol GmbH.

System alarms

Error code

Description

Closes when?

Recommendation

ALARM_DB_FULL

Alarm database is full / device alarming was deactivated

When there is enough free space: the oldest entries are deleted the following day.

Check the detected alarms and contact the device manufacturer if necessary for further clarification.

EXTERNAL_POWER_DISPLAY

The maximum pulse rate of 16 Hz was exceeded

Resolved

Choose a smaller number of impulses per kWh.

MAX_POWER_EXCEEDED

Maximum allowed total power exceeded

Resolved

Contact the meteocontrol sales department to buy a larger license.

PASSWORD_FORGET

Password forgotten triggered

Resolved

Check your email inbox and enter the code you received in the blue'Log. In addition, enter a new password.

Device and device communication alarms

Error code

Description

Closes when?

Recommendation

NOCOMM_RS485

Communication failure (RS485)

Resolved

Check if the device is working, if there is a cable connection or if the communication interface of the device is configured / activated correctly.

NOCOMM_TCP

Communication failure (TCP)

Resolved

Check if the device is working, if there is a cable connection or if the communication interface of the device is configured/activated correctly.

NOTIMPL_FEAT_GET_VALUE

Get value not supported

Resolved

Contact meteocontrol support.

NOTIMPL_FEAT_PC

Power control not supported

Resolved

​Power control alarms

Error code

Description

Closes when?

Recommendation

MQTT_CONNECTION_FAILED

At least one slave has failed to connect to master

XC: Not all slaves are connected

XM: The connection to the master failed to be established

Immediately, if Resolved alarms/states toggle is activated. See Alarms/state.

Check the network connection between master and slave for interruptions, faults.

MQTT_CONNECTION_LOST

At least one slave has lost the connection to master
(The established connection between XC and XM was separated unexpectedly)

Immediately, if Resolved alarms/states toggle is activated. See Alarms/state.

Check the network connection between master and slave for interruptions, faults.

CABLE_BREAKAGE

Setpoint value cannot be determined as cable breakage was detected

Resolved or PC restarts

Check configuration and interface for setpoint command via analog signal (0/4 ... 20 mA).

FEED_IN_METER_FAILURE

Actual value for measured value feedback is missing

Resolved or PC restarts

Check meter configuration and interface for recording of utility measurements.

GRID_DISCONNECT

Automatic grid disconnection tripped

Resolved or PC restarts

Check the power control settings if automatic grid disconnection occurs too frequently.

LFSMO_ACTIVATED

Limited frequency sensitive mode - overfrequency (LFSM-O) activated because the actual system frequency is above the configured frequency threshold

Immediately after P control goes back into normal operation. For this, the Resolved alarms/states toggle must be activated. See Alarms/state.

None

LFSMU_ACTIVATED

Limited frequency sensitive mode - overfrequency (LFSM-U) activated because the actual system frequency is under the configured frequency threshold.

Immediately after P control goes back into normal operation. For this, the Resolved alarms/states toggle must be activated. See Alarms/state.

None

P_SET_POINT_MISSING

Setpoint value for active power control is missing

Resolved or PC restarts

Check configuration and interface for active power setpoint commands.

Q_SET_POINT_MISSING

Setpoint value for reactive power control is missing

Resolved or PC restarts

Check configuration and interface for reactive power setpoint commands.

SYSTEM_FALLBACK

Fail-safe operation was activated, and a system fallback value is used as setpoint until a valid setpoint is received

Immediately, if Resolved alarms/states toggle is activated. See Alarms/state.

Check configuration and interface for setpoint command or change mode for behaviour in event of error.

TRANSMITTER_FAULT

Setpoint value cannot be determined as transmitter fault (overcurrent) was detected.

Resolved or PC restarts

Check configuration and interface for setpoint command via analog signal (0/4 ... 20 mA).
